Tax Season 2019 – File Taxes Early from now till 18 Apr
What's new this Tax Season?
-
Pre-filling and Auto-Apportionment of Child
Relief: Parents of children born in 2018 will enjoy the convenience of
having their child relief claims automatically pre-filled in their tax returns.
The $4,000 relief amount will also be split equally between parents unless a
preferred sharing basis is indicated.
- Simpler tax filing for taxi and private hire
car drivers: A deduction of 60% of the pre-filled/ declared gross driving
income will automatically be computed for taxi and private hire car drivers.
Alternatively, drivers may choose to claim tax deductions based on the actual
amount of expenses incurred.
File your taxes early from now till 18 Apr at myTax Portal to avoid the last-minute rush or late filing
penalties.
